A Michigan woman got quite a surprise when she went to her mailbox this week -- amid her regular bills and junk mail was a postcard that had been mailed almost 100 years ago.

Brittany Keech told CNN that she didn't give the card much thought at first because she was busy with her kids and her daily hustle and bustle.

"I thought it was very peculiar that I was receiving a postcard because nobody sends postcards anymore nowadays," Keech said. "I went 'Okay, this is different.'"

Later she noticed that the card was postmarked October 29, 1920. It had her Belding, Michigan, address but was written to someone named Roy McQueen in faded cursive writing.

1. In the 1960s I worked a USPS student job.

It was in the Houston GPO when I saw a letter on top of a piece of equipment. It was postmarked several years earlier. I asked my supervisor about it. He put it to be sorted and delivered with, “The mail must be delivered.”
